Oasaslonal skirmishes but no decisive battle. The additional troops are now arriving and wo all look for the wholo affair to bo brought to an end before the expiration of three months. It is reported now that a genoral advance U to bo made on the fmf of November. How truo it is, I -cannot nay, as it is Only rumor, of which there is any quantity flying around. (JITho'climato hero is apparently delightful, but there soems to bo something that affects the majority of men eo as to rondo r thorn weak and use-loss. Diarrhoea is the most common 50taplaint, attd in a great many cases it becomes incurable. Hoepitals aro full of such cases.

Opinion was rendered by Judgo Hazolrigg, four out of tho seven Judges concurring. and Burnam dissenUd, and voted with tho Domocrats. Tho opinion waB longthy and concluded as follows: "From tho averments of the Jings, tho exhibits filed and such of tho curroat history, as womay fairly tako into consideration, wo aro of the opinion that tho Honest Election Den party is a part and parcel or faction of the regular Democratic party, differing from tho regular party in somo of tho local or Stato issues, but indorsing tho utterances of tho platform of the last National Convention. We do not think it is a distinct political party, nor do we think it has claimed so to be or so regarded itself. While it may or may not bo truo that ouly such political parties as cast 2 por cout. of tho voto at tho previous election aro tho political parties entitled to inspectors under tho statute, wo think it reasonably cloar such right is conforred to such a body oj party as constitutes a distinct political party. "Wo think tho plaintiff Brown was not entitled to bavo inspectors admitted to the polls. "Whereloro tho ordor heretofore temporarily granted is . now made perpetual." Prices on Bee!
